Dun I Huang I Ancient I City
Mogao Grottoes: commonly known as "Thousand Buddha Cave"
Off-season ticket price: 100 yuan/person
Peak season price: 200 yuan/person
Summer vacation is the peak tourist season
Tickets are tight
There are physical tickets and online ticket purchases
There are fewer caves that can be visited with a physical ticket
To protect the grotto
Limited number of visitors per day
Want to visit the Mogao Grottoes more completely?
You can make a reservation in advance on the official website
I booked online more than a month in advance
There were only a few tickets left at that time.
Visited Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang before
The memory is really not very good
"Hot" and "confused"
The open-air grotto still requires climbing up and down
Even though there is an audio explanation, I still have a vague understanding of it.
I struggled for a long time last night
I canceled the tickets to Mogao Grottoes that I had booked long ago.
I chose to sign up for a group tour with my friends.

The innkeeper told me
You can make a small profit by taking it and reselling it on site today.
I feel like I’ve lost a hundred million
Hiking for a few hours yesterday
I went to the night market late again.
But I didn’t sleep well all night
Maybe I'm used to eating and sleeping in the open air.
Suddenly, my body is still not used to sleeping in an air-conditioned room.
The humidity in the room is too low
I woke up and drank water several times

Now it is designed and built to imitate the ancient city of Shazhou, with a construction area of 10,000 square meters.
Running Man once recorded a show here

It's said to be an ancient city, but more like a film and television base.
I've contracted this inn
Feel like you are in ancient times

We only visited this place for 1 hour. Time was too tight. I think we could spend a whole day here with a few drama stars.

Yadan: Uyghur, the original meaning refers to a hill with steep walls.
In geology,
The Yadan landform specifically refers to the landforms that have experienced long-term wind erosion.
A landscape composed of a series of parallel ridges and furrows.
In this Yadan landform in Dunhuang,
The area is about 400 square kilometers.
Its formation took about 700,000 to 300,000 years.
Whenever the wind blows,
It makes all kinds of weird noises,
Therefore, it is also called "Dunhuang Yadan Devil City" by the locals.

first attraction

Not a single plant or tree can be seen here,
Everywhere is a sea of black sand and stones,
yellow clay statue,
Various shapes are lifelike under the blue sky.
Second stop: The Sphinx
The third stop: Peacock Jade Stand (Pillar-shaped Yadan)
Peacock Yuli is well protected
Of course, the protection measures also look a bit scary.
If you go around it for a week, you are done visiting it.
The last stop: the West Sea Fleet
If the above three scenic spots are lifelike,
Then this scenic spot is majestic
The sand on the ground has high metal content;
So it is black, also known as the Black Desert.
We don’t have much time to visit each scenic spot.
I didn’t even have time to savor it carefully.

The sky + clouds are also a different style
After the visit, take a short rest
swipe left
These clouds are so cute
Even though the sun is shining
Everyone still doesn’t want to miss taking photos
This road is great for taking pictures
So there are so many people taking pictures
I can only choose to take selfies silently
